How in the hell do we owe? I was LAID-OFF for 5 months of 2009???
Seriously...we paid in $18k to federal taxes this year and that isn't enough.
We live in a fixer-upper 3 bed 1 bath house on the crappy side of a 1st ring suburb - our cars are all older than 2005. We even had $6k worth of charitable deductions (mostly clothes and household duplicates) and the $1,500 energy credit and it is still that high.
Ugh...its not like we're rolling in the dough...we didn't even take a farking honeymoon.
Yay socialism yay.

VERY Sorry to hear this!!! We hope to do ours this wkend or at least start them... ugh.
What a pia...
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! I would be SO PISSED!!!! How can you owe that much, with being unemployeed and making all those donations?
Did you have someone do your taxes?
DH and I are both employeed, own a home,and we didnt make nearly the amount of donations you made and we are getting $400 back
Yikes! Sorry, honey!
I'm afraid to do my taxes now. . .
That sucks big time! Do you usually owe?
We owed this year too. I'm so mad. DH works in a different state than we live and it screwed us over majorly. Owed state and federal. I was so looking forward to a return with buying the house and doing some energy star stuff to the house.
Are you guys claiming exemptions? I always claim 0 (although last year 1/2 way through, I switched to 1) and have them take out at the higher single rate. I owed $2800 one year between fed and state and it sucked arse. Never again.
We got 4K back last year (which we later found out was too much; thank you, $1700 tax bill) and I expect a couple thousand back this year. It's a nice little savings plan.
